Altitude will affect an adidas, nike or anyother make of ball wont it?

The criticism was a negative campaign instigated by Nike against Adidas and everyone was sucked in.

I thought Mexico were pretty impressive tbh. They passed it about well and actually got stronger as the game wore on. Can't believe Dominech would leave behind the likes of Benzema and Nasri. That Gignac has looked cack both times he came on, Govu is old too.

No I meant does it affect the way the ball moves in the air ie does it fly higher easier ect.... they mentioned something about it during the world cup in Mexico.

Mexico and Uruguay draw their game and they're both through. Will they just chill out and laugh at France's expense or will they go for it knowing that a win means they will avoid Argentina in the last 16.

I'm delighted for Mexico, they are too good to go out now and of course if it is at the expense of France then I am more supportive of their advancement to the last sixteen.

The World Cup is starting to hot up for me, I hope there are lots more upsets and goals along the way.

Maradona criticised the former French star, along with Brazil legend Pele, following the reports had attacked his managerial style, but the Argentine coach showed a letter sent to him by Platini clarifying that he had not made such comments.

Maradona added: "I want to say sorry to Platini - but not to Pele." :rasp

And I want to say "Fu'ck off Maradonna, you fat coke snorting big mouthed cheating kunt"

"Pele should go back to the museum" ?

Maradonna may be the best player of his generation but for me he's a man completely devoid of class.

Maradonna is a genius. He isn't afraid to say what he wants. Maybe if Rafa spoke out a bit more like he does he wouldn't have had to put up with so much from the media. Anyway him being at the world cup is like a breath of fresh air. Argentina look more and more impressive each time and I think they could go all the way. Question marks over their defence at times but with so much attacking talent going forward I can't see many defences not conceding.

The american continent seems more solid these days.

Too much playstation and less football in the streets, that's the problem.

4 years ago the last 4 were all European?

Mourinho does that and gets slandered.  ???

Double bubble standards.

Hypocrisy at its finest.  :bowdown

Argentinas matches are the only ones where the camera is on the manager half the match. I cant help but love Maradona both as a player and a manager. He is always entertaining.

How much of a God will he be once he wins the world cup as a manager as well?

I never had an issue with Mourinho doing it. In fact I always maintained it was done to deflect attention away from the players. Anyway managers put up with too much :censored: from the media in this country, it's a circus. Capello needs a similar 'suck it, and keep sucking' press conference. :D

Would be great to see that happen. Watching him embrace his players after today it was like he was out there playing too. Not sure how many have won the WC as both player and manager but I think you could count them on one hand.

Brazil is my official 2nd team although id love to see the Argies win it if they don't.  :D It's ok to like both Brazil and Argentina right?
